Need some help or opinions.
I brewed the MoreBeer all grain Pliney the Elder Kit over the weekend and from my calculations I came out with a 32% efficiency. Probably due to the water I added to top off the fermenter. Lesson learned there. I did a yeast starter with a pack of Wyeast 1056, 4 cups of water and a cup of DME, on the stir plate for about 48 hours. I pitched the yeast with a wort temp of 72 degrees on Sunday and now it's Thursday and there is no sign of fermentation.
Should I repitch a couple more packs of 1056 or another 1 liter starter to get this thing fermenting? or is this batch dead due to the low efficiency?
